When I was approached to review this book and visited Jim’s site…I had a great feeling about reading this book partly because Jim’s writings made me laugh!
Through synchronicity he finds himself accepting a Rolfing session to help with the back pain and afterward is “walking on air”.
Now the Jersey Yogi starts his Journey in earnest as he connects deeply with an Indian Guru, becomes part of Ashram life and shifts his vibration as he gives up drinking alcohol and eating meat.

In Larger-Than-Life Lara by Dandi Mackall, Lara is truly larger than life – in some unexpected ways.
She is an overweight child and is ridiculed for this, yet she has special talents which finally open up the children’s hearts in the school where she starts over (again).
We get the impression from the story that she has moved from school to school already.
Lara’s story is told by another classmate, Laney Grafton who is initially relieved when Lara turns up since Laney as up until this point been the class kicking post for anyone with a bullying disposition…Laney realizes after the first 3 days of Lara’s school attendance that she has not been kicked, pushed or called names.
Both my girls read this book and suggested I read it too. In fact, they were insistent!
It’s an easy read for adults and children alike and is a great way to begin to understand the insidious nature of bullying from a child’s perspective.
Have you ever wondered who wrote that popular poem The Desiderata?
It’s that poem that starts..
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons…
You may have seen it printed somewhere or sown as an embroidered piece at your auntie’s house or granny’s house.
In Rivvy Neshama’s book Recipes for a Sacred Life, you can dip in and find out who really wrote that poem…plus study the full poem yourself and gain some peace from it. The story of who really wrote The Desiderata is quite surprising.
What if your child remembered a life before they were born? I’m quite sure there are parents out there right now that are experiencing this with their children.

Did you know that people who respond well to a placebo are often REMOVED from clinical trials?
The Nocebo Effect is something I had heard of, but wasn’t 100% sure that I understood the definition well – until I read Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself, that is.
The theory behind the Nocebo Effect is that we can think ourselves sick, basically – and perhaps even sicker when we are surrounded by others who think of us that way also.
So the formula (according to Lissa) would be Negative Beliefs + Harsh Care = Sickness.
The power of personal belief is a tool that can be applied for everybody’s health and well being. We just need to be taught how to use it.
If your family patterns have been difficult or you don’t feel in touch with your broken pieces, then I highly recommend this book – it’s not an easy read, but a deep one. Iyanla Vanzant is an internationally recognized author, healer and teacher. In this book she tells the story of the broken pieces of her life, and how she finds a way to put all the pieces in order through the lens of healing herself.
Based on the research work of Donald Clifton who used Gallup surveys to ask millions of people around the world ‘what are your strengths’ (amongst other positively-framed questions), Donald Clifton and Marcus Buckingham wrote this book to start the ‘strengths revolution’.
This book is revolutionary. It’s a very different concept to consider simply building on your Strengths rather than ‘plugging the skills gap’ and shoring up your ‘weaknesses’.
